Photoshop

After we finished the Easter Bunny at 6:55 (I know. JR is still under the impression that the Easter Bunny and Santa's gifts are going to be on par.) we started getting ready for church. As soon as JR saw his outfit, he ran and cowered in the corner screaming "Nooo!" I was utterly appalled at the thought of a Tony Hawk skateboarding T-shirt as Easter Sunday attire. (Especially with no little girls to dress up.) But after some high-intensity-military-like negotiations, we agreed that he could wear shorts if he'd wear the rest of the outfit.
And yes, JR (like his father) still can't take a picture if there's one drop of sunlight in the sky. (Not to worry, Jason's squinting picture to follow.)


I fixed the squinting problem. But then Kyle and Reed decided they needed balls as props.
This was the one and only family picture we took. Jason couldn't handle the sun in his eyes either, so we gave up after one shot.
Now, you might notice that I'm wearing a sleeveless dress while the rest of the family is in sweaters and there's snow in the yard. Well, being that I was raised in The South here's a few southern Easter dress lessons that I still abide by:
A. You will have a new dress. It must be in spring colors, no black.
B. You need an Easter bonnet. Little girls also need new patent leather white shoes, a new white purse, and white gloves with lace around the cuffs.
C. You will wear your new Easter dress even if "a norther" or "cold spell" has blown in.
And it seems the rule here in Colorado is if the temperature is above freezing, summerware is perfectly acceptable. So the way I see it, I passed both the southern and Coloradoan fashion rules on that one.
Stay tuned for photos from the 1st Annual Ingy Egg Hunt!

If that dress fit me two years after having TWINS I'd wear it all winter! As usual, you looked great and so did the boys (shorts and all).

Good Pictures, everyone looks great and ready for the Easter parade to begin. JR, just be glad you weren't a girl - white lace gloves - you would still be in the corner!

You look absolutely adorable! Good for you not caring that Durango was voted the worst dressed city in our wonderful nation! Where do y'all go to church!??!

Jamie Jo, We go to the River Church. We've always been Baptists, but when we moved here we couldn't find the Baptist church since the sign was covered in snow. LOL! We drove past The River everyday so we decided to give it a try and just stayed.

Lovely Easter pix. We missed your family for our annual Easter fun--it truly wasn't the same without your gang. Caleb certainly missed JR!
